The children of Agni Still tend to the fields But they yield to what Shiva’s Deals hope to conceal By the bushels of bullets, pork barrels of grease In the crease of the fingers And trigger’s release Of the anger, the rage of this Bengali cage Made of famines of war And the textile slaves With the wage loomin’ over Their shoulders in pain From the Kashmiri soldiers Still diggin’ their graves And in chains are the children who bear the unfair distribution of loot Still polluting the air And I try and I try, and they stare and they stare But I’m running in circles and getting nowhere
Just making a stand for this Hindustan sand A mere man of unplanned patrilineal clans Tryna’ offer a hand to the paving of roads Without hellish intentions for humble abodes ‘Cuz I know, I’ve been shown where the wild things are And now my state of mind is the state of Uttar When I still see the zamindars driving in cars And the Amritsar crimson Blue Stars from afar People burning but still full of love and a spirit That sings of the Ganges, each night you can hear it It’s clear, without fear and sincere in its praise For the guru I am, come to learn of their ways
